I am having trouble with exported data from a LiveCycle designer form when I import it back into the form. I have some check boxes that when checked make some fields and subforms visible. When I export the data from the form then close the form with out saving it and reopen the clean form and import the data. Most of the data comes in except the check boxes are not checked. I thought that they would be checked when the data come into the form.

I am working with LCD ES. I could send the form to anyone interested in taking a look to see what I am missing.

What is the Binding on the CheckBoxes? Does the check box data appear in the exported XML? Open it with a text editor and see.

I finally got it working. I did make sure the binding was set to normal. And I don't know if this is the right way to do this but I also had to set an intialize event to check and make sure that if a check box was checked the subform would be visible when the data is imported back into the form. I ended up doing that with three checkboxes.
